Based on reviews, I was so confident that I was going to love this book. It became clear very quickly that, while this is a book so many people loved enough to write glowing reviews, this is not the book for me. I found the characters generally insufferable and their relationship was unrealistic. The plot seemed to contradict itself or change directions unexpectedly. Time travel was promised in the summary of the book, but doesn't happen until over halfway through the book. The science of the time travel aspect also seemed to continually change and it was never fully clear if they were traveling in time or to alternate universes. I could go on about all the aspects that I found confusing or frustrating, but I think I'll just leave it at this: it was a book that had potential that it did not live up to.
